Re: ChonkyTonks Custom Picks

Chonky: What style of handle would you call this one? It looks awesome with the slight curve, looks very comfortable to use. I just need to know what to mention in the comment box for handle style. Thanks

Chris, just reference the Ed and Jay picks. We can go from there once I begin the design process. The handle for Jay's pick is really comfortable/functional.

No, payment occurs at the time of completion and agreement that the pick(s) meet your expectations.

Re: ChonkyTonks Custom Picks

Chonks, I have to say you are really maturing as a craftsman, the progress in your works is apparent. You've also managed to carve out a unique niche in pick design and construction. Kudos!

I think I will order one of your picks but am unsure of the process. I too like the "Ed and Jay picks", do I just specify that I would like something like those and you come up with something similar? Are each of your sets unique by design? I don't want to ruin the uniqueness of Ed's picks by asking you to make something that is exactly the same. Please advise.

Piotr,

First off, thank you for the kind words. I am constantly trying to hone my skills in this arena and am glad that the picks I have created were not a mere fluke or surreptitious savantry.

Do not worry about ruining any uniqueness. Every pick I make (and will make) is a unique design. I have only made templates of handles for transposition of the design onto the pick material. I have yet to use the same design twice. If you order, just specify that you want a design similar to Ed's set.

Thanks, LSA. Both handles are really comfortable. The second is a good fit. I like the ergonomics and flow of the design. Do you have a pic of the ratyoke design? I would not mind seeing that.
